Priorities .... ????

All the concern about riots around the country, beefed up security forces, air strikes abroad, a plethora of "threats" of various kinds, and I did a blog that Tony Stewart may retire, and I get many hits, more concern about him than what is going on in this world of ours. I find that ...... well ....... something.

After what he did, killing a fellow competitor with his car, why are so many concerned about him? Why, would he not retire. Regardless, there are questions about the event, was it intentional or was it an accident. The car that Tony Stewart was driving, hit and killed a fellow driver.

Other drivers were able to avoid, the BEST driver on the track, COULD NOT .... makes you wonder.

Tony Stewart struck and killed driver at New York dirt track

Tony Stewart struck and killed another driver Saturday night at a dirt track in Upstate New York, according to the Ontario County (N.Y.) Sheriff's Department. In a press conference early Sunday morning, Sheriff Phillip Povero relayed the grim news.

The sheriff's department declined to identify the driver, who was pronounced dead at 11:15 ET Saturday, but according to multiple witnesses it was 20-year-old Kevin Ward.

The incident took place at Canandaigua Motorsports Park. Stewart and Ward were racing into Turn 2 when Stewart's car drifted into the top lane off the corner and Ward's car went spinning into the wall. According to multiple witnesses, Ward got out of his car to confront Stewart. As Stewart drove by, his car struck Ward, launching him down the track.

The OCSD said there were no charges pending as of early Sunday morning and that Stewart has been cooperative.

This could become an OJ event. I am not a big race fan, anymore. Stewart has the reputation of being a "hot head." Could there have been a moment of "don't come after me." Others seemed to avoid the 20 year old. I imagine the "fraternity" of drivers have their own opinion of what happened, and if that opinion is as I think it might be, Steward now should drive for "Target" ... he has one on his back, anyway. He apparently opted to not drive tonight in a race, probably a smart move on Stewart's part, he might have had to face some animosity, to say the least. My hunch would be that Ward's family will settle for nothing less than a murder or manslaughter charge .... not sure how it will end up, but I think that Stewart's racing career may be over.
